The kits are main powered and use potentially lethal voltages. Under no circumstance should someone undertake the
realisation of a kit unless he has full knowledge about safely handling main powered devices.
lease read the “DIY guide” before beginning.
rint or open the following documents :
•M 73 Schematics

•M 73 arts list
•SKM Assembly guide
•M 73 Setup guide
Follow this guide from item number 1 till the end, in this order. The assembly order is based on components height, from
low to high profile, in order to ease the soldering process : The component you are soldering is always taller than the
previously assembled ones and it is pressing nicely against the work area foam.

Solder JM 1 (1x4) and the 90° (2x2) pin headers on the SK468
CB.
Insert the transformer into the
CB. Check the pin number
matching. Do not solder yet.
Insert the transformer+ CB
ensemble into the main CB. Do not solder yet. lace the cable tie
around the transformer, going through the two holes in the main
CB. Make sure to place the cable tie grip terminal on one side of
the transformer (to keep the total height low). Tighten very
moderately for now. Check the position of the SK468 CB. It
should be vertical and parallel to the main CB.
Once everything falls in place nicely solder two transformer pins, then solder the 90° pin header on the
main CB. Finish soldering the transformer pin.
Tighten the cable tie firmly.
lace the jumper on JM 1.

The transformer is mounted using four 30mm M3 screws inserted from the back of the board. The
transformer is directly sited on the CB, without washer. The screws are locked with four self locking
nuts on four metal washers.
Shorten the leads to the necessary length, around 6 cm. Strip
on 5mm and tin. Insert in the pad hole and bend the tinned tip
flat on the pad before soldering. Cut flush.
The wire colour/pad number correspondence is indicated in the
“M 73 Components layout” document.

After your board has been stuffed, brush the solder side with a hard tooth brush to remove any remaining solder bits.
Make a full visual check. Any missing component on the board ? Any remaining component in the box ?
When everything is correct, install the input and output XLR's as described in the SKM Assembly Guide.
Your M 73 is now ready for test and setup. lease follow instructions in the “M 73 Setup” document.
